Description
Abstract
Uploading an attachment for moin 1.9 is not very comfortable, you need to do a lot of clicks to upload the attachment(s) and insert links to them in your wiki page content (gui editor).
Details
Currently uploading a file attachment, setting a link to it with the gui editor, describing the link takes many steps (>>10).
Your task:
- think about how to make that much more comfortable, with less steps (less clicks) needed
- discuss your ideas with moin devs
- implement and test your ideas
- work closely together with moin devs, demonstrate and discuss stuff regularly
Think about:
http://valums.com/ajax-upload/ - can we use it? alternatives?
- can you implement in a way it is easily usable or adaptable for text editor users also?
can you implement in a way it is easily usable or adaptable for AttachFile action?
Deliverables: changesets, wiki page about it
Benefits
You'll be gui editor user's hero! 
Skill Requirements
See tags. Very good coding skills. Depending on the solution you will suggest, it is very likely you need to be very good at javascript,html,css and maybe also with python. Maybe you also need AJAX skills, FCKeditor plugins writing, etc.
